San - Mr/Mrs/Ms
Chan - used to express endearment, mostly toward girls. It is also used for little boys, pets and even among lovers, it gives a sense of childish cuteness.
Kun - suffix is used at the end of boys' names to express familiarity or endearment. It is also sometimes used by men among friends, or when addressing someone younger or of a lower station.

(subtitles are .ssa files and were synced with gryzze's raw, but should still work with xraymind's raw without too much problem, if you cannot play these files, please search d-addicts for instructions for.ssa, please do not upload .srt versions, hardsubs will be released, please do not use VLC, it doesn't work well with the subs, use mpc and see this thread for mac users: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=31445)

thank you very much!!! I've been waiting for this for a long time along with Hatachi no Koibito.. but this was the was one I wanted to watch for this season.. i love the subs and ur work.. this drama is the best =)

It was actually because my editor took a day-off from work. It wasn't for our sake that she did, we just reaped the benefits.

Please don't expect every episode to be this fast. And please comment about the subs, I want to know if everything worked and there aren't any weird characters popping on your screen. (especially for the star and yen symbol)

Thanks Sapporo Girl, that means a lot coming from you! And thank you for everyone who watched the other shows I've translated. It really inspires me to work hard when I see comments like that. (14-sai, Tantei and Dream Again = Shida Fan)

Update: Hardsubs might be coming earlier than what I've expected, I didn't think someone would apply for encoder/uploader this soon, so I'm really happy about that. Although I don't want to give an estimated time frame yet because nothing is finalized.

Just 1 more position: Quality Control (minimum requirements on first page)

Your hard work is there for all to see! When I tweak for the friend I told you about, I won't change very much at all.

You and your team deserve

Comments about the subtitle itself?

I haven't had a chance to look at it properly, but I took a peep. Around 39:27 (the sponsors) there are yen signs and an errant Kanji pops up a few times in the Windows Media Player. In VLC, there's a box displayed instead of the colon or dash you might have used (the timing is a little different, but it's still in the sponsors area). The rest of the episode looked clean.

Thanks so, so much for the first episode. I really enjoyed it. I could watch Sorimachi Takashi all day.

Since you asked... in mpc, during the opening credits/announcements and the mid show sponsor announcements there were yellow subtitle timings at the top of the screen.

My yen sign showed up but there were a couple of oddball characters in front of it and the euro sign was used in place of an apostrophe I think during the karaoke at the end.
I hope that is not too detailed.. and none of it was distracting from the English really.

Again... thanks so so much for all your efforts in subbing this show. I appreciate it a lot.

Thank you for replying regarding the characters. We really hope to bring you the best possible subs, so feedback like this will help.

We'd like to have the highest quality possible without compromising the speed. To the very best of our abilities, we'll try to bring the subs out in 8-10 days, sometimes earlier if things go well, unless it's a 2 hour special or something.

We had a hard time deciphering it too. We all spend a few days just on those few lines regarding his work on the stocks and such. The lady speaks too fast and doesn't pronounce her words properly.

Well, we do need someone to at least go through the subs one last time before release to check for any quirks, typeset problems, timing issues, split/combine lines, and hopefully some translation errors I might have missed out. Nobody's perfect.

I don't mean anything negative by this question/comment. But does the plot of this drama remind anyone of the old Warren Beaty movie? Heaven Can Wait. Like I said, don't mean anything bad by this comment. A lot of plots get reused, just wondering more then anything else.
